Did the same on my CJ. Final connection to the carburetor linkage was done using a few inches of pull-chain (such that you'd have on your attic light) so I could hit the floor pedal to goose it and the chain would go limp. Still had to remember to pull the lever to get it to slow down though! It was just used for those slow, bouncy crawls over roots, rocks, etc., where it was hard to hold your foot still on the gas pedal. Total cost was something just over a dollar for a new cable. The rest was all junk-yard stuff.

I bought a locking one at napa a few years ago that I used for the shift cable on my quadratrac t-case. I used it instead of vacum power. It was not to much from what I can remember.

Heres a few shots of mine:

A little to the left of straight on:

You can see the cable coming from the dash on the upper left back the the pin with the phillips screw right behind it...that is the setup...easy really to do....

Straight on:
http://www.m715zone.com/jonmisc/hand_throttle2.jpg
The pin goes through the linkage arm and has a cotter pin to keep it from backing out...then the cable goes through the hole down the other end of the pin...the screw goes into a block that the cable passes through and is used to adjust the tension.


From the passenger side:

You ca see the mounting pin at the back and also the U shaped piece that goes on the pin and around the arm to mount the throttle cable to the carb.

Knob on dash:
